Overview/Goals

The international Physiome was initiated at the 1997 IUPS meeting in Saint Petersburg and has now become a key priority of the IUPS (International Union of Physiological Sciences). Following on the EU Roadmap project STEP, the Eu opened a number of calls under the VPH, or Virtual Physiological Human, which is now the European face of the international Physiome community. In France, a number of laboratories participate in this effort and the purpose of the present network is simply to give the French VPH/Physiome a rallying point.

To quote the VPH-NoE website: "The VPH NoE is a project which aims to help support and progress European research in biomedical modelling and simulation of the human body. This will improve our ability to predict, diagnose and treat disease, and have a dramatic impact on the future of healthcare, the pharmaceutical and medical device industries."
